Overlooking the dramatic vista of Backstairs Passage, Antechamber Bay is one of South Australia’s finest coastal havens. With expansive native bush and bountiful wildlife it’s a locale of rare seclusion and spectacle – all crowned by four unspoilt kilometres of white-sand beach.

Since 1999 the Gilfillan family have welcomed visitors to this cherished corner of Kangaroo Island – home to their 3500 acre working farm. Historically known as Creek Bay, the property was first settled in the 1820s by two great KI legends: English sealer and whaler Nat Thomas and his Tasmanian Aboriginal wife Betty.

With the privacy and comfort of two distinctive cottages – Nat’s and The Kona – you can share in Creek Bay’s unique heritage as South Australia’s oldest continuous farming estate and a living slice of maritime history.

Both Nat’s and The Kona offer everything you could want in a coastal retreat: spacious, welcoming accommodation; stunning views with intimate outdoor connections – plus the freedom to walk, swim and relax amid nature in a bay like no other.

Each property is fully self-contained, with contemporary kitchens and outdoor barbecue facilities. Should you prefer a catered-for experience, we offer in-house catering from an extensive menu – featuring our own Southrock Lamb – by arrangement.
